I think it must calculate according to the last couple of fills, so if you have a short run and fill up at 3/4 full it factors that in as you haven't gone as far......so fill up consistantly at 1/4 tank and it will be more accurate.
The down shifting and DFCO is all in the name of fuel economy, which is its primary objective. I can cut cruise at 90km/hr and it reads 0.0L/100 kms until I get to around 35-40km/hr and then it bumps back into the 1.9-2.1 L/100km range. To put it into N while coasting would disable DFCO and you'd get increased consumption, while at stop some put into N to decrease load on transmission, and consequently engine, but it is a pretty small amount.
Last tank I filled up and the range said 789kms...and 5.0L/100km is pretty cool...  |
